IAGLR Special Meeting

Input Sought on Strengthening the Science-Policy Linkage

Tuesday, June 4
2-4 p.m.
University of Manitoba
University Centre, Boissevain Room

In December 2000, IAGLR was awarded a grant from the Joyce Foundation to improve communication between Great Lakes scientists and policymakers. IAGLR has made substantial progress on its Joyce Foundation grant and we would like to review progress and obtain advice on specific ways to strengthen the science-policy linkage for the Great Lakes. Our next Science Policy Advisory Board meeting is being held in conjunction with IAGLR's Annual Conference at the University of Manitoba. All interested individuals are invited to attend this meeting. A draft agenda is presented below.
